Zero the Hero
as recorded by Cannibal Corpse
from the 'Hammer Smashed Face' CD Single
Guitar transcription by Dave Ruginski
I have made no effort to put any kind of timing into my tab notation.
You'll have to listen to the song to get the timing correct, and to put
the riffs in the right places. I believe I have included all of the
rhythm parts for the song, but you are on your own for the solo, I'm not
a lead player.
